Euglenophyceae (ICBN) or Euglenea (ICZN) is a group of single-celled algae belonging to the phylum Euglenozoa.[2][3] They have chloroplasts originated from an event of secondary endosymbiosis with a green alga. They are distinguished from other algae by the presence of paramylon as a storage product and three membranes surrounding each chloroplast.[4]
